THE Hauraki Plains Gazette With which is incorporated THE OHINEMURI GAZETTE. Motto: Public Service. MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, & FRIDAY. WEDNESDAYS JUNE 5, 1929. THE “GAZETTE” AND DISTRICT.

The “Hauraki; Plains Gazette” in publishing a special supplement with this issue does so with pleasure that also includes no small measure of pride—pride in the town where the paper itself is published and of its progressive and happily united community. Ample evidence, which does not need exemplification, has shown Paeroa’s preparedness for advancement and expansion, and the preparedness of the business people to cater for trade in every necessary way. To be able to voice the opinion and publish the news of one of the soundest towns and of one of the most productive and potentially wealthy districts in this fair Dominion is the pleasure and honour of the “Hauraki Plains Gazette.” On another page appears an illustration of the intricate delicate piece of machinery that sets the type of this paper for its wide circle of readers. This machine is the latest model of linotype, designed for both news and jobbing work. One of the marvels of the age, it is uncanny in its perfect mechanical operations, responding to the linotypist’s touch in almost human fashion. It is capable of setting many kinds of different faces of type. This machine, which has recently been installed by the “Hauraki Plains Gazette,” will enable to be produced a greater volume of news in a given space of time than heretofor with the older-designed one. The type face set by this most modern linotype is at the same time both clearer and better, and is the finest produced to lessen eye-strain. The installation of this advanced linotype was a most important step, and the large expenditure involved illustrates the immense faith the “Hauraki Plains Gazette” has in this district. An invitation is heartily extended by the proprietors, W. D. Nicholas, Ltd., to visitors to come and see for themselves this machine in operation, and how a newspaper is produced. Explanations of the various points will gladly be given. Appreciative of the valuable instructional knowledge to be gained by seeing newspaper production first-hand, schoolchildren, accompanied by a teacher, are doubly welcome, all that is necessary being the making of arrangements beforehand. By proffering this sincere invitation it is felt that paper and reader will be brought into closer touch, and a more personal phase be entered into between publisher and subscriber which will be to the good and to the advantage of both.
